I actually thoroughly enjoyed this film! Superb acting by both Fanning & Olsen. I don't know, I just never lost interest once in this film. Hope to see more from Naomi Foner!
Been trying hard not to get into trouble, But I've got a war in my mind..

I loved it too!
shareI really loved it too! I just finished watching it and Elizabeth Olsen and Dakota Fanning were perfectly matched together.
shareI loved it!!! I'm not surprised though, Running on Empty is one of my favorite movies. Foner captures forbidden lust/love and teen angst so well. I was too busy relating to the characters and situations to think it was "predictable" or "farfetched." I thought the film was beautiful and captured both the confusion and sexual hunger born from losing one's virginity better than most films I've seen. It was lovely. I thought the casting was perfect too. Olsen and Fanning were so great.
shareDidn't love it, but liked it a lot... Just because it's leisurely paced and timeless in a sense is no reason to hate it.

I didn't love it but found it interesting enough to watch and will re-watch if I catch it on cable.
I did love the soundtrack though, I'm glad they used Jenny Lewis.
I really liked the atmosphere and the acting by the two female leads. Didn't like the character of David very much and the ending made me cringe on several levels (like: whimsy, contrived, made the scriptwriter seem desperate). Also, the whole setup seemed a bit American, with the whole virginity stuff at their age. I mean, Lilly, yeah maybe because she's shy and introverted. But Gerri? I just don't see how she could avoid sex if she wasn't trying very hard which apparently she wasn't.
But overall, I found it a quite enjoyable film.
Yep, LOVED it.
